readx;

Zhuozhou, is the important place of the land of Yanyun, is an important base for the Liao State to attack the Song Dynasty in the south, the city is huge, there are a large number of Liao troops stationed here, and there are still a large number of military supplies. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the hundreds of years of Song-Liao wars, the Liao army had to pass through here for most of the time, or get supplies from here.

In the past, it was Yeluming who guarded Zhuozhou, and Yeluming was captured by the Song Dynasty in the Great War last year. Now, the new guard general is called Yelu Zhao, this person is tall, extremely strong, full of cheeks, is a good general, experienced in a hundred battles, deep through the way of soldiers, yes, Yelu Hongji handed over to him a matter of the vanguard of the Liao army.

Yeluzhao was in the marshal's mansion, handling military affairs while laughing with the generals.

"This time, Da Liao dispatched so many soldiers and horses, which is the largest mobilization after the Chongxi period, and we must teach Emperor Song a cruel lesson."

"Lessons? It's too cheap for Emperor Song. The warriors of the Great Liao should enter the Central Plains and capture the Song Emperor as if they were the Jin Emperor. ”

Liao Taizong invaded the Central Plains, soldiers came to Bianjing, and captured the Emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, which was a proud thing of the Liao State.

"That's right! The emperor's dispatch of troops this time is to enter the Central Plains, enter Bianjing, and reproduce the old things of Taizong. Yeluzhao took over the conversation and said: "I think that back then, Emperor Taizong entered the Central Plains, what a grand event it was, which makes people nostalgic." It's a pity that the equipment of Daliao at that time, our mouths are far inferior to now, although Emperor Taizong wants to sit in the Central Plains, but he can't help the people of the Central Plains, so he has to retreat. ”

Liao Taizong entered the Central Plains, marched to Bianjing, proclaimed himself emperor in Bianjing, established the Liao State, and arrogantly regarded himself as the emperor of the Central Plains. However, he never dreamed that the people of the Central Plains would rise up and attack the Liao army, so that the Liao army could not fight the grass valley and could not get supplies, and finally had to withdraw the army.

At that time, if the Liao State had such national strength as it is now, it would definitely not withdraw its troops and would not leave the Central Plains. It's just that at that time, the Liao State had just obtained the land of Yanyun, and there was no fusion, not only did it not get help, but it had to allocate a large part of its strength to suppress it. In the end, Liao Taizong was extremely unwilling to withdraw from the Central Plains, which made countless Khitans sigh.

"Today, the Great Liao country is strong, has many mouths, and its strength far exceeds that of Emperor Taizong. This time, we entered the Central Plains, and we will not leave anyway. Yeluzhao was very excited, clenched his right hand into a fist, and said, "We should encourage each other!" ”

"Encourage each other!" The generals responded in unison and spoke loudly, which was extremely exciting.

"Marshal, something is wrong! Big things are wrong! ”

A pro-soldier came in quickly, shouted from a distance, his face turned pale, and he was very frightened.

"Useless stuff! What's the alarm? Yeluzhao scolded.

The sound was like thunder, this personal soldier was startled, endured his fright, and hurriedly said: "Marshal, I found a large number of Song troops and attacked more than a dozen Da Liao military camps, and the Da Liao warriors suffered heavy casualties. ”

"Haha!" He said it very carefully, and he was very frightened, for fear that Jeluzhao would punish him in a fit of rage. However, where did he think that when he landed on the ground, it caused a lot of laughter from the generals, all of them raised their heads to the sky, laughing very loudly and very happily.

"You inquirers, you know to be lazy and talk nonsense." A general blamed.

"You don't use your brain, do the southerners have that guts? What a joke! ”

"Even that Wu Ji was just bold for a while, and he took shit luck and robbed the horse farm. How fat do you think the southerners are? Don't say that we want the southerners to attack our barracks, even if we put gold, silver and jewelry in front of the southerners, the southerners will not dare to take them. ”

A group of generals, you say a word, I say a word, and they can sarcastically ridicule the cowardice of the Song army. In their mouths, Song Jun is a rat gall, and when he sees their shadows, he will run away.

"Marshal Yu, I found a large number of Song troops and attacked the military camp of Daliao everywhere. Xincheng, Yongqing, Wuqing, Gu'an, Anci and other large military camps were attacked, and the Daliao warriors suffered heavy casualties. ”

Just as the generals were making fun of it, another pro-soldier came in to report. He was as frightened as the soldier before him. This was the most serious incident in the history of the Liao Kingdom, and Yeluzhao was probably furious and took his life.

"You ......" the generals were still incredulous, and they wanted to reprimand.

"Marshal, found a large number of Song troops, attacked the Da Liao military camp everywhere, so far, more than a dozen military camps have been breached, and the Da Liao has lost more than 30,000 warriors, and there are countless grains and grass."

One after another, the generals had to believe it even if they didn't believe it, and they all opened their mouths wide in disbelief, with the word "impossible" written on their faces.

“……”

Yeluzhao's mouth was open for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

This thing is really unbelievable, and the generals are just like him, who didn't say a word for a long time, just stared at the soldiers in a daze. If the gaze can kill, it is enough to dismantle these pro-soldiers.

"Raiding a dozen barracks, is it possible?" After a long time, a general finally voiced the doubts in his heart.

"Yes! It's impossible! Another general then said the question in his heart: "Even if the southerners are timid for a while, there will not be so many people." More than a dozen military camps were attacked one after another, how many people did this have? At least, it will take 40,000 or 50,000 people. ”

"Not to mention, if this kind of attack is not a war horse, it is impossible to complete it on two legs anyway." Another general went on to analyze: "The southerners don't pay attention to cavalry, and they rely on two legs to fight, this matter is deep-rooted, and when did the southerners switch to cavalry?" ”

"Besides, even if the southerners switch to cavalry, where will they have superb riding skills? Riding and shooting, that is the housekeeping skill of the Da Liao warriors, and the southerners can't learn it if they want to. ”

Riding is indeed the housekeeping skill of the nomads, and the Khitans are very good at it. However, they forget that riding can be trained, and it does not have to be grown up on horseback. The cavalry of the Han and Tang armies were no worse than the Xiongnu and Turks, which is proof. If the Song Dynasty was determined to reuse cavalry, it would not be difficult to train horsemanship, because the experience of the Tang Dynasty was not long ago, and it could be used completely.

"Even if the southerners are fat, have war horses, and grow four legs, are the warriors of Daliao all eating? You must know that the warriors of Da Liao are the elite of the world, and even if they are attacked, they will not be so useless and kill so many wounds. "A general almost roared out.

His words were immediately approved by the generals. For hundreds of years, the Liao State pressed the Song Dynasty to fight, and the Liao State developed a sense of superiority from top to bottom, thinking that the Liao army was better than the Song army.

But they didn't know that the Song army that came to attack was even stronger than the Tang army, mainly because of the thunderbolts. If there were no thunderbolts, the combat power of the Converting Army would not necessarily be stronger than that of the Tang Army, and even if it was stronger, it would not be much stronger. With thunderbolts, it was completely different, although the Liao army was the elite of the world, and under surprise, it was attacked by the Song army, or it was not possible to suffer heavy casualties.

"Marshal, it's true." A pro-soldier boldly reported and said: "According to the Daliao warriors who escaped, the southerners are fierce and abnormal, like wolves and tigers, and they kill people when they see them, and they will never leave them alive. ”

"Like a wolf? Vicious anomalous? A general was surprised by Mo Ming: "These are all the words of the southerners who said the Great Liao warriors, how did they come out of the mouths of the Great Liao warriors?" Or the southerners. ”

For hundreds of years, the Liao State has always had the upper hand and pressed the Song Dynasty to fight. In the eyes of the Song army, the Liao army was like a wolf and a tiger, fierce and abnormal. Now, this statement has been reversed, and it is really speechless.

"Go down!" Yeluzhao's eyes were full of light, he clenched his fists several times, let go several times, and waved his hand at the pro-soldiers, and several pro-soldiers fled as if they were amnesty.

After they went out, they let out a long breath, feeling that they had walked through the ghost gate. It's a miracle that they still have their lives with such heavy news.

It wasn't that Yelu Zhao had a good heart, but that he knew that killing these soldiers would not help, so he suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Marshal, what should we do?" The generals were a little flustered. They have never encountered this kind of thing, and they can't do it if they don't panic.

"Report to the emperor immediately." Yelu Zhao's brows tightened, and he quickly turned his thoughts: "It's also a good thing that the southerners are attacking on such a large scale, although the losses are heavy, but they give us a good opportunity." Therefore, we need to quickly change the camp, no longer scattered garrisons, but concentrated. As long as the Da Liao warriors are hugged, they are not afraid of a surprise attack by the southerners. ”

Yeluzhao is worthy of being a famous general, experienced in a hundred battles, and such a disposition is very important in the art of war. If the Liao army does not quickly change its deployment and is still scattered and stationed, it will break through the Song army, and the losses will be very large.

"Send troops immediately and pick them up everywhere. Be sure to be fast! Yeluzhao's reaction was very fast, and with an order, a group of generals left and led the army to respond.

"This time, I'm going to let the southerners have no return!" Yelu Zhao clenched his fist in his right hand and said hatefully: "Come on, pass the order, the army of Zhuozhou will be issued immediately, besiege and kill the southerners!" ”

He planned to mobilize the Zhuozhou army to encircle and suppress the Song army. This disposition cannot be said to be wrong, but it is very correct. Because the Song army penetrated deep into the Liao realm, in the hinterland of the Liao State, this was beneficial to the Liao army. If there is another large army, the danger of the Song army will be great.

Tens of thousands of Liao troops in Zhuozhou, under the leadership of Yeluzhao, left Zhuozhou and marched south. Tens of thousands of troops advanced, the ground shook, the dust flew, and the murderous spirit rushed south.

xxxxx "My luck is really bad, I bumped into 20,000 Liao dogs as soon as I came." Fang Ren, the general of the Ansu Army, looked at the Ansu Army who was fighting hard, and was very annoyed.

He was unfavorable, and the originally assigned Liao army camp had changed. In the past, there were only more than 5,000 Liao troops here, and with the Ansu army led by him, they could be eaten completely.

Where to think, the garrison of the Liao State here has increased to 20,000. What made him even more unlucky was that he actually let the Liao army find out, and the Liao army was like a hungry wolf seeing a bone, and pounced on it desperately, and a surprise attack turned into an encounter.

The 20,000 Liao army surrounded the Ansu army, and the Ansu army fought extremely hard, suffering heavy casualties. If this continues to be fought, the Ansu army will definitely be wiped out.

"Look, that's the Converts!"

"It's Wu Du's command!"

Just when Fang Ren was complaining, the Liao army was in chaos, and I saw that the Guixin army was under the command of Wu Ji, like a tiger entering the flock of sheep and killing from behind.

"Kill!" Fang Ren would never miss such a good opportunity and led the Ansu army to counterattack.
